Re: [Lynx-dev] Send user-agent header setting

[Karen Lewellen]

while I cannot speak to lynx.cfg, I can state that I have yet to find a 
solution of a default nature.
My feeling is echoed by one point you make.  because some sites will deny 
entrance if the option is turned off, turning the option off on a need to 
use  basis seems best for the greater integrity of the browser.
My  additional question  though has to do with the user agent field 
information  itself.
Is there something that can be placed in that field which might   help the 
problem?
a user agent  header that performs consistently well enough to serve as 
the default?  That way one might need to  turn the option off less often.
Just  my thoughts,
